    Summary

    He turned his head toward the door, the motion unhurried and relaxed, now that he felt more or less safe in this house.

    (More or less – as he was still distrustful, still cautious, still watching. The Zhaos and the Fan sisters seemed like honest people, but Xie Zheng knew very well that people could be bought anywhere; you only needed to find the right price. He was acutely aware that his life was hanging in the hands of people who could definitely use a few taels of silver.)

    After a brief pause, the door creaked open just enough for a small head to poke through.

    “Can I come in?” his visitor whispered much louder than probably intended, blinking at him with innocent, big brown eyes and chubby cheeks.

    Xie Zheng – already expecting her – nodded silently, curious to find out what she was up to today.

    Changning entered as if she was trying to be stealthy – mindful of the noise of her shoes against the floor, and pushing the door to a close slowly and quietly.

    (Xie Zheng didn’t deem it necessary to point out that her earlier whisper-shouting in front of the door probably betrayed her to Zhao daniang already.)

    Summary

    The Xie Army in Pursuit of Jade is essentially a perfect case study in why you should never let your terrifyingly competent military commander fall in love.

    The drama spends plenty of time on stunning cinematography, political intrigue, and a seventeen-year blood feud. But the real entertainment comes from Xie Zheng’s inner circle: a group of elite soldiers, spies, strategists, and scouts who somehow end up operating less like a military unit and more like a deeply stressed family business dedicated to protecting one man’s chance in romance and a happy ending.

    When you compare what these people are trained to do versus what they actually spend their time doing, the results are spectacular.

    Summary

    Xie Zheng was reading documents when Fan Chang Ning burst into the room like a small, violent storm.

    “Jiefu! I figured out romance,” she announced.

    He blinked and immediately rolled up whatever he was reading like a guilty official hiding corruption evidence. “You figured what out?”

    “You’re doing it wrong,” she said, climbing into the chair across from him and kneeling on it like a general planning a war. “You can’t just stand there and look at my sister like a sad ghost.”

    “I am not a sad ghost.”

    She ignored that. “Do you like my sister?” she asked bluntly.

    Xie Zheng felt like someone had just shoved an entire pig leg down his throat.

    “I… I…” he scrambled for an answer, suddenly finding the table extremely interesting.

    His silence was answered by Chang Ning’s slow, smug grin—the kind only small children and very dangerous politicians possess.

    “I have a plan,” she announced.

    *In which Chang Ning was the genius behind the signature Tangerine peel kiss (and other crazy romance manoeuvres thereafter).
